The SCRT Committee make plans for the State Championship trial throughout the season, and with the support and sponsorship of Advance Petfood in cash and product, and wonderful donations of major placegetter prizes by Blackboy Kennels, and other prizes donated by Marie Ewen and Richard and Anna Courtman, the trophy table always looks stunning.

The site for this years championship trial was at the Williams' farm near the town of Goomalling, located on the Mortlock River. This site can be dicey for the running of trials, as the river goes up and down within a day, and rain close to the date of the trial really is a prerequisite. Well rain it did; in the early hours of Saturday morning down she came, and continued on through most of Saturdays runs, along with cold and gusty gale force winds, rendering the rain horizontal at times. Fun !!!

Considering the day before had been one of the hottest days recorded in September, and that snakes are beginning to emerge, we were probably lucky to have the colder conditions for the trial.

Nineteen dogs were entered, and after two scratchings, 17 dogs actually fronted for the start. Ten Labradors and seven Golden Retrievers. The judge Ray Johnson addressED competitors before the commencement of the trial stating he expected marks to be fired at whilst in the air & persons not doing so would be eliminated. Dogs breaking and not brought under control within a certain length would also be heavily penalised. Wishing all competitors luck, No. 1 was called for, upon which competitors asked if they could possibly see the run before facing up. A humorous start to this years trial !!

DATE: 17TH AND 18TH SEPTEMBER 2005
JUDGE: MR. RAY JOHNSON

DAY ONE:
RUN ONE: Double Mark (Thrown simultaneously and in line. Any order of pickup) 16 dogs through.

RUN TWO: Mark, blind and two bird (long blind 40' right & behind the mark, was first pickup. On dog's return a very low two bird to the dog's right. Doubt that dog's saw this throw. 2 bird was the next pickup, then the mark which was between the blind and 2 bird and very similar distance out.) 10 dogs through.

RUN THREE: Triple Mark. (Along narrow section of water & very rocky and dense undergrowth. An optional relocation for handlers for firing at 1st mark. All marks across the water and in close proximity to each other). 7 dogs through.

RUN FOUR: Sighted rabbit and wounded game (rabbit). 7 dogs through.

DAY TWO:

RUN FIVE: Double Mark and doublefall. (Pickup order, both marks then the doublefall). 3 dogs through.

RUN SIX: Double Blind and mark, plus nono bird. (Interesting run with the mark (bird) disappearing under the water to reappear some metres further along. This was to simulate a wounded duck and happened several times over for each dog.) 3 dogs finished.

The Retrieving Club held their final All Age stake for the season at the Lavender Farm at Toodyay on September 3rd. It was great to be back at this lovely site after a couple of years break. A fine day was forecast for the Saturday, but a heavy fog in the morning delayed the start of the four run trial for a while.

JUDGE: Ms Norma Turner

ENTRIES: 15

One of the Goomalling sites was used for this trial again this year. Again, an Eastern States judge had been asked to visit W.A. for the weekend of trials, and a good entry for the All Age stake looked like a healthy beginning. Unfortunately for most, this was not to be.

STAKE; ALL AGE (Wauchope Farwalked Woman trophy)

JUDGE: MR. WAYNE POHOLKE (VIC)

ENTRIES: 16
STARTED: 15
FINISHED: 4


Run One: Doublemark with a walkup and a blind. Handlers commenced the walkup from the gunsteward, and a short mark landed about 15 metres out on land parallet with the f.p. Dogs were not to pick this bird up. Facing across the river, a mark was throw L to R with the fall unseen. Dog was sent for this mark and as it reached the far bank, the handler fired at a blind placed approx 25 degrees off the line to the mark and a further ten metres. The handler then left the f.p. and picked up the walkup mark, leaving the dog to do the retrieve. Unfortunately nine of the dogs were put off their line by the shot at the blind and scented this bird, rather than the mark and consequently left the competition. One dog was unable to get the blind and also left the scene. Six dogs completed the run successfully. Topscoring dog Josh and Judy Pannett.

Run Two: Blind with nono bird, walkup mark and mark/wounded game.
Handlers fired at a blind placed behind brush in the river, then calling the dog to heel walked at 90 dgs to the blind whereupon a mark was thrown R to L over the water to land just right of the line to the blind. Handler proceeded to another f.p. where a mark thrown L to R landed in grass. As the dog retrieved the blind, this mark was picked up in preparation for the wounded game retrieve which was through/under a ringlock fence and placed in a dense pigface brush paddock. Pickup order, blind, short mark, wounded game. Topscorer not known.

Run three: Double mark and two bird, plus diversionary bird.
As dog and handler walked toward f.p. a startled "duck" three feet to the left of the dog was dragged. This was not fired at, nor for dogs to lunge towards. Proceeding to f.p., a ringlock & wire fence was directly in front. Short mark at 100 metres almost directly in front was thrown L to R, then long mark at 140 metres and 45 dgs right was thrown R to L. Handler to lift fence for dog to get under for the retrieves. Handlers choice of pickup. All deliveries to be with fence between dog and handler & all retrieves from that point. As dog picked up long mark a two bird was thrown to the dogs left. Topscoring dog Swanny and Kerry Webster.

The Gun Dog Club and the GSP club combined resources to hold a Novice and Restricted trail on the 27th August, and an All Age stake on August 28th, at a site on the Mortlock River at Goomalling. The Saturday had a fine day forecast with temps around 20 degrees. A small field for the Novice was disappointing, leaving us all wondering where our Novice dogs have gone to. A reasonable entry of 11 dogs for Restricted made it a real competition with the judge, Wayne Poholke, from Victoria, raising some of the competitors eyebrows.
Results and descriptions are as follows:

NOVICE: (BRINN MEMORIAL TROPHY)

Entries: 7
Started: 4
Finishes: 4

Three shortish marks all about 65 metres in length, with two incorporating crossing water. Most coped well with all three retrieves, with the biggest fault being overrunning the mark. It is pleasing that all four dogs finished the trial.

A new site on the Dale River in Beverley, was the venue for the GSP Club's Novice and Restricted stakes. Although there are some restrictions because of trees, for sightings of marks, the site will be a pretty and useful area for future trials.
After receiving a couple of inches of rain during the week, the river was flowing well and it wasn't surprising that nearly all the retrieves involved water. A lower than normal entry for Novice was due mainly to several dogs progressing through to Restricted. The same has occured for Restricted fields.

The final Novice & Restricted trial for the Lab. Club for 2005, was held at Harper Street, Middle Swan on a cloudy mild day. Entries for both stakes have dropped over the last few weeks, with several dogs achieving titles and moving up.

An interesting set of marks for Novice challenged the dogs, with a pleasing result in the loss of only one dog. Restricted had a difficult set of runs which tested steadiness and obedience in all the dogs.

The Winter Plate trial this year, was once again held at the Harper Street site. Unlike last year, there was no rain and no wind, just a sharp brisk morning turning into a fairly warm day. Mosquitoes are prolific in the area and are almost bomber squadron size. Trees are also abundant, and undergrowth is tall and thick, with hidden gullies, logs and rabbit holes. The second and third runs took their toll on the dogs, with even young, energetic dogs being sapped of strength in coping with the conditions.
Instead of the usual four runs, the judge set three runs today (listed below), and his comments at the presentations were very complimentary on the ability and obedience of all the dogs. Scores were pretty close with five more dogs just outside the placings making it a close contest.

Recent rains ensured that the river was flowing well for the trial and the judge made good use of the conditions. Apart from fog for most of the morning necessitating a halt for an hour and a half, and the drama of extricating two 4 wheel drive vehicles from being bogged in mud, the trial ran smoothly.

JUDGE: MS. LYNNE STRANG

Dogs Entered: 16
Started: 16
Finished: 6

Run One: Triple Mark with offset firing point.
Long mark seen from first f.p. on same bank, thrown from paddock to fall behind a large gum. Relocation to 2nd f.p. parallel to first. Short mark just left of the f.p. thrown across the river to land behind bushes approx. 10 metres up the bank. Third mark between the previous two thrown across the river with only short period of skyline visible. Fog did hinder visibility of the two long marks at times. Pickup: Marks as fired at. Highest scoring dog on this run Altiquin Stern (Guinness).
Run Two: Blind, walkup mark and nono bird. Dog placed in hide & handler fired in direction of blind. Call up dog and proceed towards second set of f.p., during which a mark was thrown across the river to fall out of sight behind thick bushes. The blind was on the f.p. side of the river approx. 130 metres away, with a nono bird placed just to the right of the line about halfway out. Pickup blind, then mark. Best score went equally to Guinness and Chilli (Courtsum Glen Stalker).
Run Three: Double blind and mark (all across the river). Long blind 45 degrees left of the mark, across river and gullies, placed on fallen timber. Short blind 20 degrees right of mark, was second pickup, with the mark the final pickup. Best score from Josh (Featherhunt Joshua).

The site for the Lab. Club's trial was the Brookleigh Equestrian Centre located in Upper Swan and with the Swan river on its boundary.
The river current can be quite fiece at this time of year, plus, there is the added hazard of canoes and kayaks training for the Avon Descent. A fine clear day for the trial, made conditions perfect for retrieving.

The day was the wettest day we have had in a long time, with thunder and lightning, and a chilling wind in the afternoon.

The Retrieving Club held this All Age stake on the Dale River at Beverley, about 2 hours from Perth. The weather again was kind to us, and actually became rather too hot, which brought out the bush flies, mosquitoes and bull ants. Watching out for the inch long bull ants has become a ritual, and with several dogs having been bitten this season, the ants do seem to becoming more prolific.

On what was supposed to be a showery day with occasional thunderstorms, turned out to be a fine and humid day. All the coats and jumpers were discarded as the day became warmer and warmer. Plenty of rain in the previous two weeks had swollen the Swan River over its banks and a very strong current added to the difficulties. Because of the amount of water, the judge found it necessary to alter the second run, and with land area already restricted, and so much water, we resulted in two runs with two retrieves each, across the river.

No sunshine this day, with high humidity and handlers getting quite wet on run three. High and dense kikuyu on two of the runs required hard work to tackle, and took the sting out of the dogs. The double blind on the third run had a narrow avenue for handling on the first retrieve, and after a swim across a lake, a nono bird and thick bush & reeds on either side of the second blind.

The traditional Easter trials were held once again at Arthur River. Although very sparse in vegetation at this time of year, the river is always reliable in quantity of water, so despite the heat often accompanying these trials, the opportunity to cool off dogs is always available.

The Labrador Retriever Club held their Annual Winter Cup trial for All Age dogs. A wet and blustery day made conditions difficult for competitors.

The Gun Dog Club held its Novice and Restricted trial at a site known as Harper Street, with terrain consisting of high and thick kikuyu, narrow gullies, reeds, trees and winding water.

The Labrador Retriever Club held their Novice and Restricted stake at the Domestic Airport. Ten dogs competed in both stakes on a fine but cloudy day. Rabbits, foxes and bandicoots abound in this area, so it was scent heaven for dogs. Unfortunately, the water area had receded dramaticly, restricting the use for runs testing in the water, but the judge made good use of what was available.
